The weather is getting colder day by day, and the leaves on the trees are slowly turning yellow and falling. The early dynasty of Tianyuguo was supposed to be a five-day rest, but after the autumn harvest, bandits were rampant in various places, and peasant uprisings broke out in places with poor harvests. So from August to early October, this morning pilgrimage was uninterrupted for one day. Although the Manchu Dynasty didn't say anything, I know that they get up early and be greedy for darkness every day, and it's not easy.

Finally, under the joint force suppression of Su Chonghua and Qin Ruoan, a series of pacification policies of the imperial court, and the joint use of millions of stone rice grains supported by Murong Villa, Tianyuguo finally stabilized.

So, I discussed with my father and gave everyone a short long vacation, tentatively five days. From October 11 to October 16. In case of emergencies, officials can also enter the palace at any time to face the saint.

Face saint, of course, is to meet the emperor, and I am just a little prince. Therefore, on the first day of the holiday, I took Mu Yu, Xiao Ye, Qing Yu, Zhuangyuan Xun, and Qin Ruoan, who had just returned to the dynasty for meritorious service, to a hot spring in Qiyun Mountain for a vacation.

This hot spring was discovered by Mo Qian when he went hunting in the mountains not long ago, in the depths of Qiyun Mountain, surrounded by dense forests, it looks like a cloud of mist in the forest from a distance. In it, the mist is shrouded, and the afternoon sun reflects a rainbow, which is more like walking in a fairyland.

The water of the hot springs is clear, and you don't know how many years it has been washed by your bare feet, but you have already become smooth and rounded all the way to the big and small rocks, and you can see a few small springs for the first time, some of them are desperate to the sky, and some are hiding in the bottom of the water bubbling and surging. Further inside, the water temperature began to scorch, and the large and small springs, some of which hid behind strange rocks and gushed quietly, while others gathered in groups, unscrupulously and heroically......

Mo Qian, who was leading the way in front, turned around and saw that I was barefoot regardless of my image, playing with Mu Yu and Xiaoye all the way, and the demeanor of my daughter's family was even more revealed, so he hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "The lord's identity is special, so many outsiders are present, the lord must be cautious in his words and deeds." ”

"Haha......" I bent down and picked up a large handful of water and sprinkled it on him, "You ask who here doesn't know that I'm a daughter!" "Mu Yu, Xiao Ye, Qing Yu, Qin Ruoan, Zhuangyuan Xun, Manager Xu plus Mo Qian, there are eight of us in our group. There are also the secret guards who followed in the shadows and did not show up, even if they didn't say it explicitly, they all knew that I was a daughter. Now that everyone knows it, why am I still hiding like I am in the palace, how tired I am!

"Lord......" Mo Qian was obviously surprised, "You are not afraid of ......"

"What am I afraid of?" I asked rhetorically, patted my chest with my wet hand, and proudly said, "These are my own people!" ”

As the springs increased, even if your feet left the water and stood on a large rock jutting out of the water, the soles of your feet were burned uncomfortably. I grabbed Mo Qian in front of me and asked, "Is there no other way?" ”

Mo Qian said that he had already led people to build a few thatched houses in a treasure lot for us to rest. But this foot is getting hotter and hotter, I'm afraid that the soles of my feet will be burned before I get to the place.

"Lord, this is the nearest road, and if you cross the shore, you will have to detour for two hours to reach it."

"But I'm going to burn to death!" I shouted in displeasure, "What a game this is!" Obviously, he came to be punished. ”

Along the way, although I was amazed by the number of springs, many of them flowed down the river, forming wide shallow streams or rapid waterfalls, and there were no hot springs at all. And in the place where this spring is concentrated, although there are many pools of moderate depth surrounded by large stones, the water temperature is too hot, and there is no way to stay at all.

I finally had a holiday, and I took everyone in the East Palace out to play, but before I got to the place, I was already disappointed and wanted to go home.

I was sullen, Xiao Ye suddenly picked me up horizontally, and flew to stand on a treetop in the distance, "Let them continue to torture, let's find another way!" ”

"Your Highness! You wait for the old slave. I didn't expect that Manager Xu still had some light skills, but I saw that he rose and fell on a few rocks, and barely stood on a treetop.

Then, Qin Ruoan easily followed. Mo Qian saw that half of the people had left, and he also flew to our side. In the blink of an eye, in the hot spring water, only Mu Yu, Qing Yu and Zhuang Yuan Xun remained.

In order to create an opportunity for Mu Yu and Qing Yu to have close contact, I turned back and dragged the champion Yuan, who didn't know martial arts, up to the treetops and handed it over to Qin Ruoan to take care of.

I thought that Qing Yu took Mu Yu away from the hot spring water, at least it was not the kind of princess that Xiao Ye hugged me, and it should be like me receiving the champion Yuanxuan, holding one hand around the waist and holding the arm with the other, in addition to being intimate, this posture is also more convenient and comfortable. Who would have thought that Qing Yu actually held Mu Yu's arm and dragged Mu Yu up the treetops like a jailer dragging a prisoner.

I can't help but sigh, such a man who is as warm as jade, gentle as a spring breeze, is so rude in rescuing a beauty. It's just that he is rude, the key is to let Mu Yu suffer so much, I can't agree.

Reaching out to take Mu Yu from Qing Yu's hand, I wrapped my arms around her waist, Mu Yu put her arms on my shoulders, this posture is more pleasing to the eye than Qing Yu's prisoner-like drag, and how many grades of intimacy and ambiguity.

Before the conference, we arrived at the treasure place that Mo Qian said. The treasure land, of course, is surrounded by mountains and rivers. This treasure place is even more wonderful, with green mountains reaching into the sky behind it. In front, you can see a large area of hot springs and shallow waters formed by the springs.

The hot spring water drawn by the open bamboo slowly flows into several pebble-covered pools, between which there are natural rocks as barriers, and with exquisite bamboo bushes, flowers and trees cover the dots, making each pond more private and quiet.

There are several thatched houses, although low and simple, but they are wonderful and deep and elegant. Liu Yuxi's "Burrow Ming" also said: "The mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, and the dragon is spiritual." "I have mountains and water, only immortals and dragons.

Qing Yu, Mo Qian, Qin Ruo'an, are miracle doctors, skilled craftsmen, generals, champions Yuanxun, Mu Yu, Xiaoye, talents, beauties, rich people, and I, the female prince of Tianyu Kingdom, who have crossed over, get together, although there is a suspicion of a rabble, but there are also some real talents. Even if it is not comparable to Zhuge Kongming, Yang Ziyun, Confucius, these sages, they can be regarded as the leading figures in this Tianyu country.

In this way, my thatched hut and the sages can be somewhat touched. So, I loudly announced, "I have decided, this will be my courtyard from now on!" ”

"That's it? Thatched huts! Xiao Ye said the three words of the thatched house very seriously, "Return to the courtyard!" Anyway, you are also the prince of Tianyuguo, not to mention these thatched houses, even if it is a big hall, plus pavilions, water pavilions, Qionglou, and warm pavilions, it is barely enough to be called a courtyard. Even if Tianyuguo is so poor that he can't even afford to buy a tile, isn't there still me? No matter what, I can't let you live in this thatched hut! ”

Xiao Ye leaned closer to my ear and whispered, "Besides, if that guy Hu Yanzhuo knew that I let you live in a thatched house, he wouldn't fight with me!" ”

"In this way, Young Master Murong is ready to sponsor the funds for the palace to build another courtyard here?" Although the humble room is close to the sages, I still know very well who is more comfortable than the small grass house that can be razed to the ground by a violent storm, and the pavilion, the water pavilion, the Qiong Tower, the warm pavilion, and the magnificent hall.

"Or else?" Xiao Ye shook her head helplessly, "Do I still expect you to be willing to allocate money from the Tianyu treasury to build a courtyard for yourself?" ”

"Hehe...... "I have to smirk, if the Tianyu treasury is rich, it is nothing for me to build a separate courtyard for myself, but now the Tianyu treasury is cleaner than the street at midnight, even if I don't care about the life and death of the people, regardless of the needs of the army, and only care about my own enjoyment, then I have to have silver!" I can't take out any of them now, and it's good to have these small grass houses in the courtyard. Therefore, blackmailing Xiaoye is the wisest choice at the moment.

"Lord, this place is more remote than the Ghost King's Peak, and it is full of dense forests and swamps, there is no way to go, it is difficult to transport stones, bricks and tiles in, if you build a royal palace, I am afraid it is not easy."

Xiao Ye looked around and said, "Then take local materials, use huge stones as the foundation, build stone walls, and build a castle like the Ghost King's Palace." Then use bamboo and wood to build some pavilions and water pavilions. I can barely live! ”

"It cost a total of 300,000 taels of gold to build the Ghost King Palace. If you build a castle with the same specifications as the Ghost King's Hall here, I'm afraid it will cost ten times more money. Mo Qian snapped his fingers, "If you add the pavilion water pavilion, without five million taels of gold, you will definitely not be able to do it!" ”

"Five million taels? Also gold? "It's enough for Tianyuguo's military expenses for a year, and I can't bear to use so much money to build a courtyard that hasn't been around a few times a year, "Forget it!" I think this thatched house is pretty good! "At least it can block the wind and rain, and it has a simple personality, and it is quite innovative to live in a tall palace and occasionally change the environment.

"Lord, thatched huts do not protect against the cold, and if winter comes, I am afraid that the cold will damage the Lord. If you don't belong to the local materials, build a few main houses with stones, and there are a few hundred-year-old golden silk nanmu trees in the nearby mountains and forests, and the subordinates cut them down, make some beds, cabinets, and then build some pavilions with bamboo. Mo Qian glanced at Xiao Ye and said with a smile: "Three hundred thousand taels of gold should be enough." ”

Mo Qian was obviously blackmailing Xiao Ye, this craftsman ghost king had ready-made ones on the top, stones, wood, and forests, obviously he didn't need any of them, he had to take Xiao Ye's 300,000 taels of gold. said as if he was saving money for Xiao Ye, he was like this, obviously he was cheap and behaved.

Xiao Ye took out a large pile of silver tickets from his arms, threw them in front of Mo Qian, and said: "This is 20 million taels of gold, the main hall, pavilions, water pavilions, Qiong Tower, and warm pavilions are all indispensable, and the wood must all be made of good golden silk nan wood or sandalwood and blood dragon wood." Within two years, I will have to complete it no matter what method you use! ”

"Whatever you say is what you say!" Mo Qian happily put the silver ticket into his arms, nodded and longed to offer Xiao Ye as the God of Wealth.

I quietly came behind Mo Qian, grabbed the stack of silver tickets, flipped through them, pulled out a 300,000 taels and gave it to Mo Qian, and said, "Just according to what you just said, take talents on the spot, build a few main houses at will, and build a few pavilions!" ”

Mo Qian had a bitter face, and he didn't dare to come forward to grab me, so he had to put up a smile and discuss with me: "Lord, it was his subordinates who fooled the silver ticket from Young Master Murong, so you should also share half of it!" Or five million taels, and his subordinates will build you a luxurious courtyard according to the instructions of Young Master Murong! Do you think that's going to work? ”

"It's only 300,000 taels, not a single point more!" I stuffed the silver ticket into my arms, and with this money, I don't have to worry about next year's military expenses. It can also allow the Ministry of Engineering to repair several large projects. Dredging the main road of the Canghe River, reinforcing the embankment by the way, saving the torrential rain, the people on both sides of the Canghe River are all so frightened that they dare not sleep in the middle of the night, for fear that the dam will burst and be washed away by the flood in their sleep.

Mo Qian didn't give up and said: "300,000 taels can't cover the royal palace!" ”

"It doesn't matter, you can cover it with 300,000 taels, and you can build whatever you want!"

"Then I have to have a name!" In order to get back a few more silver tickets, Mo Qian struggled to the death, "A few main rooms and a few pavilions are called the Prince's Courtyard, and people will laugh at them if they spread it." ”

"Then what is it called ......"? Blame me for reading too little, I still have empty plaques in so many palaces and courtyards in the East Palace, not to mention that one has not yet been built, and I don't know what kind of main houses and pavilions will be built in the future.

Turning around, I saw Zhuangyuan Xun standing on the side in a proper manner, and suddenly had an idea, and said: "Zhuangyuan, you have the best knowledge here, why don't you choose a name!" ”

Champion Yuan Xun obviously didn't expect me to ask him, but the champion Yuan Yuan is much sharper than me, he pondered for a while, and said: "Your Highness, this mountain range is called Qiyun, the clouds gather, then the rain falls, so how about the other courtyard built here, why not call it 'Mu Yu Xiaoju'?" ”
